Isaiah 53:2 is one of the prophecies that is used in reference to Jesus:
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
This is my take on that verse.
Have a very Merry Christmas all my readers. I appreciate you all.
My name is David Hayward, and I am the nakedpastor. I am a graffiti artist on the walls of religion.
Merry Christmas, David. Your blog continues to be a treasured gift…

Merry Christmas David and thanks for your insight and honesty
Merry Christmas to you David!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
you mean He didn’t have blue eyes and a Brad Pitt smile? AHHHHHHHHHHHH Christmas is ruined.

I guess that tells us that God wasn’t a PRETTY woman being as Jesus would have gotten all his looks from her…. but that’s actually very cool! It says God doesn’t pick women by their LOOKS!! Too bad more men aren’t that way LOL
Merry Christmas David !!!
BIG oops!!! tells us MARY wasn’t pretty… not saying God wasn’t OR that He’s a woman LOL !!!
so sorry
LOL! There is an ancient Christian tradition (more prevalent among the Gnostics, IIRC; there’s no supporting verse in Scripture) that Jesus was lame in one leg.
David, you and your work has been a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing it and yourself with the world.
Joyous Christmas to you and yours and all here.
Merry Christmas David, and all.

Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your readers. Thanks for being there….
